Song of the Open Road Drives Dutch Villagers Round the Bend
8th May 2018
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Instead of putting rumble strips on a road in a small Dutch village to warn drivers who veered onto the shoulder, officials installed musical strips.
Workers painted the stretch of road near the village, Jelsum, to “play” music from the regional anthem when tyres rumbled along the raised strips. But soon, the biggest rumbling was coming from the village as residents begged authorities to make it stop.
Let that be a lesson to us all.
